| Project Detail |
The objective of the proposed project is to address cross-river bottlenecks at strategic locations.
Indicative result indicators of the proposed project are (i) reduced travel time for through traffic
and (ii) reduced transport costs of through traffic. Other intermediate indicators and the results
monitoring framework to monitor the project progress and outcome will be developed and
finalized during appraisal.
The proposed project consists of two components as described below.
Component 1: Construction works and consulting services. The project will support the
construction of Kewatkhali Bridge about 900 meters in length and approach road about six
3
kilometers in length. Other ancillary works to make the project bridge fully functional are also
included, e.g., installation for traffic management equipment and traffic surveillance,
construction for O&M facilities, and tolling and communication systems. Construction
supervision for the project is also included in the component. Moreover, feasibility studies,
environmental and social safeguards identification, implementation and management and
preliminary designs of other selected strategic locations will be sponsored under the
component.
Component 2. Project management support and capacity building. This component is
comprised of the project management costs of the project implementation unit. The project will
also support the training, capacity building and institutional development of RHD for operating,
managing and maintaining the RHD networks of the project division areas. |
